Matt Silva (soccer) → Matt Silva – "Matt Silva" currently redirects to Buddy Murphy; Murphy is a professional wrestler who once used "Matt Silva" as a ring name. Murphy has performed under several names of which "Matt Silva" is the least well known. There is not a strong case for having Matt Silva primarily be a redirect to Buddy Murphy rather than pointing to the individual who is only known by this name. This move will avoid the need for parenthetical disambiguation and allow for more direct linking.

 * Support As McPhail said, the Matt Silve name is pretty obscure, there is no sense to be a redirect with other person being known as Matt Silva. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:40, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose the wrestler gets way more views (10,687) than the soccer player (69) and Matthew Silva (the rugby union coach) gets 24 and Matthew Silva (footballer) gets 10[|Buddy_Murphy|Matthew_Silva|Matthew_Silva_(footballer)] even if the wrestler isn't primarily known by this at least now its likely there is a primary topic. Most Google results seem to be for the rugby union coach, the 1st result is the Twitter page for the rugby union coach (using the title "Matt Silva") and the infobox on the right is for them as well. Instead redirect "Matt Silva" to Matthew Silva (disambiguation),  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 22:11, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
